i had a air compressor recently installed on my car and then the oil changed i noticed that after a week or two i started seeing white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe i took it to a mechanic and he told me it was probably a cracked head gasket and that i would cost more to fix it so i should probably trade it in please help me and let me know the labor cost and the price for the part i do not have $1500 to make the repairs is there some kind of fluid to put in the car to repair the gasket or will i have to buy the part and pay for the labor and if so how much. I have been duped by one mechanic for the repair of the car and it was not the problem i do notice that if i turn on the air it does not smoke that much but when it is off it get worst. is there a recall on this problem for the 2002 Nissan Altima
